Timeless Travel In Verse

The Spring

The water pool beckons
Off in the distance
Cool refreshing
Impression

But its wet allure
Placid surface
Only an illusion

Upon approach
Steam comes into view
Placid no more
Then bursting

I stay on the ridge move ahead
Find the wooded valley, riverbed
Relief from my thirsting

Undone

We think we know the game
Think we are key players

Then the game revealed
A fool's errand?

Found lost and undone

Yet in finding, game won
